To buy any car you have to have a residents or blue card, we opted to buy a new car because we are living on the island because the second hand cars still seemed quite expensive, and I was not convinced about the history of the second hand cars, ie: whether they were badly driven by the locals, whether they were ex car hire cars, or I heard a story about someone who found they had bought a "cut and shut" which completely scared me off.
I've wondered about the cars which ex pats have been selling too because, i don't know how they can get away with the tax and mot situation, when they are only supposed to keep the car on the island for a short while unless they are registered, which then calls into question whether these cars are insured.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me,

), in fact we swopped it for an ex-hire car but the owner is someone we trust completely. I do know many people who have bought ex-hire cars with no trouble at all. Some have very little mileage and can represent good value for money.
